What is Kidney Smart?

• A. A free class to the public not associated with DaVita; provides pre-dialysis education such as infection prevention, diet, different treatment modalities
• B. A paid program for clinicians only
• C. A PD solution brand
• D. An online newsletter for caregivers

Answer: (A)

Kidney Smart is a no-cost educational class for people with kidney disease and their families. It’s aimed at those approaching dialysis and covers practical topics like infection prevention, diet in kidney disease, and an overview of different treatment options, including various dialysis modalities. It’s designed as a public resource, accessible to the broader community, so it isn’t a paid program for clinicians, a brand of dialysis solution, or a caregiver newsletter. The idea is to empower patients and families to understand choices and prepare for decision-making about kidney care. In short, it’s a free public education class about kidney disease and dialysis options.
